Life for triple killer who stood to inherit €49m

A SWISS man who stood to inherit real estate worth $78 million (€49m) was convicted of killing three women, including his adoptive mother and sister, and sentenced to life in prison.

The sordid family drama in the posh lakeside town of Vevey reads like an Agatha Christie mystery and has gripped sedate western Switzerland.

After a week-long trial, the jury of a Vevey criminal court found the 44-year-old man guilty of triple murder.
